Since I had an international marriage, I didn't have any family or relatives here. So, we decided to register at the city hall. The whole process was quite smooth and fast. First, you have to purchase the marriage license. Once you have the marriage license, you can call the hotline and book the chapel. They can offer their officiant (at an extra cost) or you can bring your own. Then, you will have 30 minutes to use the venue. We were satisfied because we just wanted to register first and then have more spare time to organize another local and overseas dinner later. Highly recommended!

I love this space. Always have, always will…read more If you haven't visited Mississauga City Hall, you really need to do so. It's one of the city's crown jewels, and an impressive and grand site for any event or private function. Considering I've been visiting this place fairly frequently for the last decade, I'm still amazed whenever I walk into the central atrium. The building is sprawling and easily befits the city's status as the sixth-largest municipality in the country, situated right in the middle of the city centre and across the street from Central Library. I was here last week for a "fireside chat" being held with Mayor Bonnie Crombie and former Mayor Hazel McCallion. There was an exhibit (which is still going on, as of this writing, until the first week of May 2017) that had a number of different pieces of memorabilia from Hazel's past, including some of her hockey jerseys, signed photographs, newspaper articles and other odds and ends. (Yes, I have several of the bobbleheads that are featured in that exhibit. One of the few items I still own from my time at the Mississauga News.) The event was bittersweet, in a way. While Hazel is still going at an impressive 95 years old, she seemed to be slowing down a bit from what I could tell. Not that it stopped her from firing off a few zingers towards politicians past and present, and giving her input on all kinds of things from the state of the city to the Leafs' chances to win the Stanley Cup. ("They'll definitely get it next year," she said.) It was a very interesting and unique event, and she was awarded with the Key to the City in Council Chambers - a well-deserved honor. City Hall in general is a fantastic place to visit, even if you're not going for an event. They handle all the city services and the parking is dirt-cheap too ($1 per hour in the underground garage.) As I've already made this enough of a puff piece, I'll simply conclude by saying that if you ever visit Mississauga, make this place a priority destination. It really is as beautiful as it looks in photos.

Every few months, I fly into Toronto Pearson International Airport. This is to visit family though…read moreoccasionally I have a work conference there, too. I typically fly in and out of Terminal 3 when I fly American Airlines though on the rare occasion, I instead fly Air Canada and travel in and out of Terminal 1. Unlike friends who absolutely hate flying, I enjoy the travel experience, especially when using some helpful tools like Nexus, airport lounge membership, and airline status, all of which I was able to enjoy during my Toronto airport visits. When checking in, I was able to skip the check-in area if I didn't need to check bags (as I checked in online) on one of my trips, and then this most recent time, I checked in at the priority area for assistance and checking bags. I then went to the Terminal 3 check-in and used Nexus to go through to the expedited part of the Security line (which also works if someone has Global Entry). Elaborating on the Security line, there are two options: (1) the general Security line, and (2) the Nexus/Global Entry Security line. I have a Nexus card (whereas I used to have Global Entry thanks to the American Express Platinum card, which also has other benefits at the Toronto Pearson International Airport). After making it through Security, there are three lines at U.S. Customs and Border Protection. One line is for U.S. citizens, one line is for non-U.S. citizens, and the third line is for any Nexus/Global Entry card holders. Nowadays, when you go through the third line, you just have a photo taken and then walk right to the front of the line where a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer will wave you through. After that, it's the Tax-free Duty Shop! All in all, it's a good airport, and throughout my regular trips to Toronto, I have gotten into my routine for my check-in experience, customers/security, shopping, lounges, and flights. I look forward to exploring more at the Toronto Pearson International Airport in the future, especially when next flying in Terminal 3.

The other alternative on Glen Erin has paid parking, so I opted to go to this Central Parkway "Mall" instead. ;) (It's not really a mall, btw, but more of a neighbourhood plaza in the Valley.) This Passport Office is newly renovated and is no longer upstairs in some dingy digs, but on the main level. It's pretty centrally located, so you can't really park "too far" from it. As soon as you step into the mall, there are clear signs pointing you in the right direction! If you've filled out all the forms in properly, the process is pretty smooth. You stand in one line for someone to quickly scan your app and give you a number. Then you have a seat where you wait for your number to appear on the digital boards located throughout the room. I went this afternoon and from the time I got my number - when I was served was approx. 20mins. Not too bad. Note: There is no free WiFi.

Anyway, the bin is located directly outside of the Region of Peel building. Visitor parking is right across from the bin. It was easy to do, but bin was already kinda full upon my drop-off as there were other items on door as I pulled it down. So maybe it should be emptied out more often.
